Millions of children across the world are on the move. Some are driven from their homes by conflict, poverty or climate change; others leave in the hope of finding a better life. Far too many encounter danger, detention, deprivation and discrimination on their journeys, at destination or upon return.
A child is a child, no matter why she leaves home, where she comes from, where she is or how she got there. In carrying out its work, Caritas Cyprus is guided by its conviction that every child has the right to protection, care and all the support and services they need to thrive.
At the heart of Pope Leo XIV’s Message for this, the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees is a call to look beyond statistics and recognize the dignity of every child affected by migration and displacement.
